Schedule: Full-Time, Monday–Friday; after-hours or weekend work as needed

About the Role

PADCOM is hiring a Project Manager II to lead the Low Voltage Special Systems scope for the Terminal 5 Renovation & Reconstruction program at LAX. You will be the primary IT liaison for the project, overseeing the design-builder’s IT and special systems work, aligning with LAWA standards, and coordinating closely with IMT and project stakeholders to deliver a safe, disruption-free rollout.

Key Responsibilities

  • Serve as the primary liaison with IMT for T5 IT implementation and integration.

  • Define scope, develop RFPs, and manage procurement for designers and contractors.

  • Plan, direct, and control technical, fiscal, and administrative functions for the IT portion of the project.

  • Build budgets and schedules; monitor risks, quality, and compliance with contracts.

  • Lead design and construction coordination: design reviews, RFIs, submittals, shop drawings, mockups, FAT/SAT, testing, commissioning, and punch lists.

  • Oversee permitting activities and remove construction roadblocks to keep work efficient.

  • Maintain complete project documentation and produce regular progress and risk reports.

  • Ensure adherence to QA/QC plans and LAWA BIM standards; monitor BIM production.

  • Evaluate change proposals and pay applications for accuracy and contract compliance.

  • Coordinate across TDIP projects for technical consistency and support stakeholder briefings and board presentations.

What We’re Looking For

  • Education: Bachelor’s in Architecture, Aviation, Business, Engineering, Construction Management, Planning, or related field; Master’s preferred.

  • Experience: 10+ years managing large construction projects, ideally at airports and over $50M in value; proven ability in management roles.

  • Skills: Strong leadership, planning, and communication. Able to interpret design intent, manage complex phasing, and work under pressure. Proficient with Microsoft Office and Bluebeam; CAD or Revit is a plus.

  • Certifications (preferred): AAAE, LEED, PE, PMP, AICP, or similar.

Work Conditions and Equipment

  • Onsite at LAX; this is not a work-from-home position.

  • Monday–Friday full-time; after-hours or weekends may be required and are considered part of salary.

  • Company-provided laptop and cell phone required; LAWA provides a desktop or laptop for on-network work.

  • Transportation to and from the LAX worksite is the employee’s responsibility.
